This week’s fashionplate is in honor of all things American and the 4th of July. I decided to rock my festive custom stars and stripes tank and grab some burgers and beers at Black Tap Craft Burgers and Beer in Soho. This small restaurant has seating at the bar and counter space. We manged to snag two seats at the bar and I decided to hydrate first with a watermelon juice and my friend got an iced tea. I then proceeded to get a Mermaid Pilsner. Who says this girl never gets beer?! We then split the special wings which were solid but could’ve used a little more spice. Then my friend got the All American burger with sweet potato fries and I went with the Texan burger. We both agreed my burger was better, it was perfectly medium rare and I loved the addition of bacon and the crispy onion ring and BBQ sauce, yummers. The fries were also solid and the sweet potato fries were even better. I couldn’t even finish my whole burger and ended up taking the remainder to go.

Now on the the fashion and ootd part of the fashionplate. The crowd was mostly young twentysomethings who live in the surrounding hood with a little bit of Brooklyn thrown in for good measure. They also play some dope old school hip hop which we loved. See how I styled my custom top below.
